Bamboo Horse Pianist

Chapter 2 It's just time, it doesn't understand
Maybe no one can understand Yang Chumo's feelings for Mu Liunian. To the world, he is a person, but to her, Mu Liunian is her whole world.

It's just time, it doesn't understand.

Part1
During the summer vacation of that year, Mu Liunian was taken back to Los Angeles as usual, and lived with his grandparents for two months. This time, for some reason, he was very reluctant. The day before Mu Liunian left, she took his hand and her eyes were blurred with tears. Said: "Can you not go this time?"

Mu Liunian looked at her teary eyes, and wondered in his heart that although Chu Mo was always by his side, he was very obedient and rarely so clingy, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, but he heard her mosquito-like voice say: "Time It’s been too long, and I’m so sorry.”

Mu Liunian laughed: "Didn't you keep yelling that you should grow up quickly? I've only been away for two months, so you can't be independent anymore?"

"It's not that—"

"Then show me that to be an excellent person, you must first learn to be strong."

"Will you really marry me when I'm outstanding?"

The sudden appearance of this sentence made him puzzled, and he turned around in doubt: "Mo——"

Before he could finish his words, he was kissed by soft lips.

After a long, long time, Chu Mo couldn't believe that she was so bold at that time. She will always remember Mu Liunian's astonished and shocked expression at that time.

"Chumo? Yang Chumo?"

Her friend Luo Xi waved her hand in front of her eyes, and she suddenly turned around, not knowing where she was for a moment.

Listening to the noisy crowd, she realized that she was in the school cafeteria.

Some people say that time goes by, if you are not careful, it will be a lifetime, and the kiss of that day is still deeply burned in your memory, and it has been five years since she recovered, at this moment, she is a freshman in B University, and she is in the same dormitory friend Rosie.

Luo Xi put down the meal that Chumo had made for Chumo, sat across from Chumo, looked at the thick dark circles on his friend's eyelids because he didn't have a good rest, and asked, "Last night, I stayed up late to play the piano again? I didn't see you in the final exam." You work so hard and like piano so much, why did you choose English instead of applying for the piano department? Your college entrance examination scores at that time were more than enough."

"I don't have that much money." Chumo looked down at his bowl full of meat, chicken wings and so on, and looked at his friend on the opposite side in distress, and said, "Do you have to eat so much meat with me? You treat me as a Where are the beasts serving?"

"If there is such a beautiful beast as you in this world, then I have nothing to say." Luo Xi said, "Look at how thin you are from vegetables and radishes every day, like an entire airport, if you don't make up for it now , be careful of being rejected by your husband in the future."

Chu Mo laughed twice, took out the wallet from his pocket and said, "How much is it in total? I'll give it back to you."

"Forget it." Luo Xi said: "I have told you more than two times, this is the third time, if you Yang Chumo sees me like this again in the future, I will treat you as a friend for nothing. In the future, we will break off our friendship and never communicate with each other."

"Okay, I won't be like this in the future." Chu Mo felt a little helpless, she said that the most cherished thing in these years, besides the memories kept in her mind, was the friend in front of her.

Speaking of getting to know Luo Xi, it was really interesting. At that time, Luo Xi confessed to a senior in the Department of Mechanical Engineering that he liked, but the senior said that he had someone he liked, named Yang Chumo.Luo Xi was sad for a day and a night because of this, and the next day he used all the connections around him to dig out Yang Chumo, only to find out that he was actually a classmate of the same department as her.

At that time, Luo Xi only thought that although Chumo was good-looking, it was not that amazing, so he chased after his brother from the mechanical department and asked, "What do you like about Yang Chumo?"

The senior from the mechanical department said, "She has eyes that can talk."

Luo Xi rolled her eyes and cursed: "I'm going! Tell me about her eyes!"

The senior from the mechanical department was so scolded that he was speechless, and it took him a long time to spit out two words: "Your sister!"

In the next few months, Luo Xi looked at Chumo with the eyes of a rival in love. Everyone she met said that she was broken in love, and threatened everywhere that she would fight Yang Chumo.

Chumo is simply inexplicable. She is usually very low-key in the classroom, and she is not enthusiastic but gentle and polite to others. After being publicized by her like this, she is almost like a vixen.

In the eyes of others, Luo Xi is just a little boy disguised as a man. When everyone is waiting in horror for the day when she and Chu Mo will duel, it is surprising that they have become good friends in the same dormitory.At that time, Luo Xi said a wise saying: "If I were a boy, I would also like a girl like Chumo who is so unreal."

Part2
Don't eat fireworks?Chu Mo chuckled, she was really flattering her, maybe it was before, but now...

"Who is lascivious, I am lascivious, who is lascivious, or am I lascivious..."

Suddenly, a not-so-popular music sounded.The noisy cafeteria fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes turned to Luo Xi, the source of the phone ringing.

Although boys usually have a casual personality, Luo Xi was also taken aback by the ringtone. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and it was really his own ringtone: "Damn, let me know who changed the phone into a phone behind my back." This ringtone, I have to kill him!" While talking, she picked up the phone, it seemed that the other party's voice surprised her, she said a few words of "hello, wow" excitedly, then hung up the phone with a very happy face Di said to Chumo: "Mo, I will go to Houhai to patronize your business in the evening."

Every Friday, Saturday, and beginning and end of the year, I would work part-time at a bar called "Qi Ri" in Houhai. This job was also introduced to her by Luo Xi, just because here I can play the piano all night and get paid back.

"Okay." Chu Mo answered simply. It's not a strange thing that Luo Xi often takes her friends there.Sometimes when she has nothing to do, she would go there to chat with the proprietress and wait for her to get off work, just because the news said that the law and order in the area recently is not very good.

In the words of the proprietress: "I have never met a boyfriend as good as you."

At that time, Luo Xi smiled like the flowers of the motherland, and said joyfully, "If Mo Mo doesn't mind, I'll be her little boyfriend."

Because Luo Xi was going to meet friends, she went to the school gate after dinner, and had to go to the dormitory to get something, so the two parted ways.

When he walked downstairs to the dormitory, Chu Mo habitually greeted his aunt, then took the hot water bottle he had brought down from upstairs, and went to fetch water in the water room.It was the end of school time, and there were quite a lot of people queuing up to fetch water. Chu Mo stood there, reviewing the new grammar learned in class today in her mind.

"Brother Mu from the Department of Medicine will come to the college to exchange music skills tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Hey, when the time comes, you must dress up beautifully, maybe you will be spotted by the senior brother."

"You think too much... Ruan Duhuan is already by her side."

"Isn't that an unacknowledged relationship?"

"If you don't admit it, it's almost inseparable. Besides, don't you already have a boyfriend?"

"So what if you have a boyfriend? Who in our school has the mentality of dumping if you have a boyfriend and leaving if you have a husband when you meet Senior Brother Mu?"

Standing there at the end of the month, the appearance of that person seemed to be imprinted in his mind, it must be a white shirt, a handsome outline, and a cold look with little expression.

Mu Liunian, just like when he was a child, grew up to be more and more excellent. Not only is he a top student in the medical department, but he can also play the piano well, and his level has reached the tenth level.The difference is that when he was a child, he was the omnipotent god in the eyes of her alone, but now, he is the god in the eyes of a group of girls.

He was no longer Mu Liunian who belonged to her alone.

These years, it's not that she hasn't seen him. On the contrary, in the same university, she can see him every day, but every time she secretly hides in a corner that others can't see, watching the endless stream of people around him. The girl looked at him politely but alienated.

When life loses the courage to love, the worst thing is that he is close by, but seems far away in the sky.

Close your eyes, try your best to keep yourself calm at the beginning and end, Mu Liunian is still living so well without her by his side, isn't this what she wishes for?Only in this way can she remind herself that leaving at the beginning was correct.

Part3
When Chumo came to Houhai, it was already very lively inside. Luo Xi has always been an actionist, and when he saw her coming in with his piercing eyes, he pulled her in front of everyone and said, "Come here, this is my non-eating A good friend of Fireworks in the world, a big beauty, Yang Chumo!"

Chumo is already used to her introducing herself so exaggeratedly, and she blushed shyly for the first time, but now she looks calm. She looked at a few unfamiliar faces with a smile, but when she saw a familiar and indifferent face, The smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Mu Liunian.

That person leaning on the sofa and looking lazily at this side, is it really Mu Liunian?

There was a hint of disbelief in her eyes, and then there was a brief darkness as if the eyes were not cooperating.

Luo Xi looked at his friends around him strangely, and asked, "Mo, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?"

"No, it's okay." Chu Mo hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "You guys chat first, I'm going to work." After speaking, it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing after him, and quickly fled away.

Next, Chumo's nerves seemed to be misaligned, Shensi was not on the scene at all, and several notes were played wrongly. If it weren't for the frequent customers who came to this bar, something would definitely happen.Finally, when Chu Mo was resting, Luo Xi walked in and asked her if she was not feeling well.She just kept shaking her head, dazed.

She originally told the proprietress that she would go back first, but Luo Xi was worried that she would go alone, so she insisted on staying with Chu Mo and going home together when the time came.

When she sat in Luo Xi's group of friends, she suddenly felt a little bigger in her head.It just so happened that she was sitting opposite to Mu Liunian.So much so that she hung her head down from the beginning to the end, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at the opposite side.

Later, from their chat, Chu Mo finally knew the reason why Mu Liunian appeared here.

Luo Xi's eldest brother, Luo Zijia, who came back from abroad is Mu Liunian's senior brother and has a very good relationship. Luo Zijia is the eldest son of the director of the No. [-] Hospital in City B. He came back this time to invite Mu Liunian to study a medical project with them.

Chu Mo knew about Luo Xi's brother because Luo Xi had complained in front of her that her brother didn't respect the relationship between siblings. He clearly knew that her biggest dream was to travel around the world, but he never took her out after so many years abroad. once.

While eating and chatting, everyone could tell that Mu Liunian had a very high status here, and most of them were praising him: "Although Senior Brother Mu hasn't graduated yet, he has far surpassed his peers academically. Praise him for the backward wave pushes the forward wave, he is an example for us to learn from."

"Senior Brother Luo and Brother Mu have always been the best student representatives of University B. This cooperation will definitely become a medical miracle."

For other people's compliments, the expression on Mu Liunian's face was still indifferent, as if the words were not about him, but Luo Zijia was quite gracious.At the end of the year, I couldn't help but look at it, Luo Xi was originally the handsome girl, not to mention Luo Zijia.The neat short hair, the crisp plaid shirt, and every move show well-bred elegance.

"Mo?" Someone touched her elbow and called softly.

Only then did she realize that when she was wandering in her thoughts, she didn't pay attention to a plate of glutinous rice balls. She and Luo Zijia's chopsticks picked up a ball at the same time. What's worse, it was obvious that Luo Zijia picked it up first, and she picked it up second. He went up but didn't let go of his chopsticks, as if he wanted to succeed.

Chu Mo didn't know how this happened at all, it was obviously a subconscious action when she was distracted just now, she quickly let go of the chopsticks, feeling overwhelmed with embarrassment.

But she didn't want Luo Zijia to chuckle, picked up the ball and put it in her bowl, saying, "Ladies first."

Chumo only felt more embarrassed, a blush crept up her cheeks quietly, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself right now.

Part4
I don't know who said in the crowd: "Luo Xi, your friend can blush. It really is unreal. Who would blush in this era? You are so embarrassing. There is such a Lovely good friend, don’t even mention it to me, if I knew it earlier, why bother to search for it in the world, just come to your place to make an appointment..."

After finishing speaking, she still showed a self-proclaimed sultry smile towards Chumo, Luo Xi directly poked the chopsticks in his hand into his mouth, and shouted: "Okay, you, look at your virtue! Smile like a whore It's like giving money!"

"..." The audience was silent.

Luo Xi didn't feel it at all, and continued: "Our family is always out of mud and not stained, are you worthy of you? Besides, our family already has someone in their hearts, don't even think about it!"

The man was not convinced: "But didn't you say that she was single last time?"

"Haven't you heard that there is a kind of single in this world called just waiting for one person?"

The man was answered with such a sentence, but he didn't say anything.At the beginning and end, my heart is extremely complicated.

Although Luo Xi is usually careless, she knows a lot about emotions. She said that her brother was chased by girls since he was a child. Every time those girls saw her brother, their eyes would light up, and every time Chu Mo was in a daze, their eyes would light up. There is a kind of lost light, and it is from this point that Luo Xi can see that she has always hidden someone in her heart.

Chu Mo didn't admit it, and she didn't mind, she said: "If you really don't have someone you like, it's impossible to not have a boyfriend by now."

At that time, I often thought, if you have to have many boyfriends when you go to college, then did the excellent Mu Liunian also have many girlfriends?

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a deep, familiar yet unfamiliar voice saying, "I'll go out for a while."

When she raised her head, all she saw was his back when he left, as tall and slender as she was every time she hid in the corner to peek, the difference was that today he was wearing a leather coat, just looking at his back , a little more indifferent and aloof than usual.

It turns out that not only the things around her have changed over the years, but also her former fleeting brother.That gentle boy who always had a faint smile on his face.At that time, she probably never thought that she and Mu Liunian would become what they are now, they are so close, but they are extremely estranged, even strangers.

She thought, he must have hated her, hated her for leaving without saying a word, hated her asking him for a promise, but she didn't follow it.

Chumo closed her eyes, only feeling her heart tremble. Over the years, she thought more than once in her heart, if she had been brave back then, would the ending have been different?But she didn't dare, she was a coward, and she was afraid that she would drag him down.

He is the high god in her heart, how could she be worthy of him at that time?

Luo Xi looked at the friends around her. She had never seen Chu Mo like this before. Her face was pale, and there was sweat on her forehead. She asked worriedly: "Mo Mo, are you really okay? You look good now Oops."

Chumo opened her eyes, shook her head lightly, and tried her best to pretend to be calm: "It's okay, I'll go to the bathroom."

When she got up, she felt that her steps were floating. She clenched her fists and tried hard to restrain her trembling body. When she turned into the darkness of the bathroom, she let herself go and leaned weakly against the wall.

Part5
"Hello, please excuse me." Just after she relaxed her nerves, she heard the voice of a guest wanting to give way. The corridor was not very wide, and the posture she leaned against the wall just now happened to give way to others. blocked.

She stood up quickly and said sorry softly.

Seeing the guest leave, my heart ached, why did I suddenly feel aggrieved that even the corner couldn't tolerate her being pestered for a while?Sighing softly, she turned around and walked towards the back garden at the end of the corridor, unexpectedly it had already been taken by someone else.She just glanced at it for a while, and her heart, which had finally recovered, jumped fast again.

The handsome man leaning on the wall with his back to her in the back garden was actually Mu Liunian.Hearing the sound from here, he turned his head and stared at her coldly. Against the moonlight, she couldn't see his expression clearly, or there was no expression at all.

Chu Mo felt as if she had been acupunctured all over her body, she could only stand still, she should have run away immediately, after all, the reason why she avoided him for so many years was that she didn't dare to have any possibility of having any direct contact with him.In the brain and heart, there is such a consciousness, but the body is not obedient at all, unable to move a little bit.

"Fleeing Years?" Suddenly a female voice came, and she turned her head to see a girl walking out from the other side of the back garden. She had neat short hair, was wearing a white T-shirt and short jeans, and her tall figure was very similar to that of the music department. A professional model with excellent temperament.She walked up to Mu Liunian and said with a smile: "I just came here, I didn't see you, so I came out to look for you. I know you like to stay in a quiet corner by yourself, so you can easily be caught by me every time! "

The man next to her didn't speak, but she didn't mind at all, and said cheerfully, "Zijia and the others are looking for you, hurry over."

"En." Mu Liunian responded, and walked in the direction of Chumo. When he passed by her, he stopped, glanced at her, and left in just a second.

Chumo watched his tall and straight figure leave in a daze, her heart jumped for joy as he approached, and lost as he left as if nothing had happened.

It's not that she never thought that they would meet again one day, and she has sketched in her mind countless times, what kind of picture will it be like?Did you just say "Long time no see"?Or just say nonchalantly: "Mu Liunian, are you still so good?"

There were a hundred fantasies, but none were as bleak as the one I experienced just now.

Five years later, have they arrived without even saying hello?She would rather he beat her and scold her, but don't treat her like a stranger.

She knew that in this world, acting as if nothing had happened was the most ruthless revenge.

"It's you?"

Just when she was standing there in a daze, the girl who had just talked to Mu Liunian was already standing in front of her.That girl is really tall. If she guessed correctly, she should be Ruan Duhuan, the only one in University B who has an affair with Mu Liunian.

"Sister Ruan." She called softly.

There was no surprise on Ruan Duhuan's face, her reputation in University B was enough for the younger students who had just entered the school to quickly know.

However, only such an outstanding girl could be worthy of Mu Liunian.

Chumo thought sadly, but ignored the unexpected phrase "Is it you?" just now that Ruan Duhuan was surprised

"You are Yang Chumo?" Ruan Duhuan asked repeatedly.

Compared with the fact that she knew Ruan Duhuan as a matter of course, Chu Mo was a little surprised that she would know her name, but she still nodded in admission.

"No matter how you look at it, you don't seem heartless and heartless? It's hard to imagine that someone as arrogant as Mu Liunian would actually..."

She didn't say what she said later, but she managed to arouse Chu Mo's curiosity.

She who is usually not interested in anything, was so curious for the first time, her big eyes fixed on Ruan Duhuan, and asked her, "What for me?"

Ruan Duhuan said: "For a man named Yang Chumo, I gave up my admission qualification to the Vienna Conservatory of Music and came to University B. Don't you know all this?"

Chu Mo shook his head blankly.

"Do you know why I recognized you?"

Chu Mo still shook his head.

"There's always been a picture of you in your wallet. At that time, I pointed to that picture and asked, was this girl the one who asked you to give up Vienna for her? But why did you choose University B in the end?"

"..."

"He told me it was just for a promise."

Part6
When I returned to school from Houhai, it was only eight o'clock in the evening.Because Luo Zijia came back for the first day, Luo Xi was ordered by her mother to go back to sleep tonight, but she was worried about the beginning and end, and always felt that something was wrong with her today, so when the car drove downstairs to the dormitory, she was still worried Concisely said to Luo Zijia who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Brother, I'd better accompany Chumo at night."

"No need." Chu Mo said this, she said: "Your brother finally came back, you should spend more time with your family, how can you stay with me?"

"But you're in a bad state today..."

"Maybe I'm a little tired." Chumo pointed to her face with her fingers: "Didn't you say that I have dark circles on my face in the morning? It's not that you don't understand my physique, it will always be like this in those few days .”

She was right in saying that, and she has been living with her for almost half a year, and every time Aunt Chu Mo comes, she is particularly scary.Not to mention the pale face that looks like a corpse, the stomach hurts enough to roll on the bed.

Seeing Luo Xi's hesitation, Chu Mo hurriedly said: "Okay, don't make your brother and his family wait too long, I'm fine, I'll go up first." After saying "goodbye" to Luo Zijia, he turned and went upstairs.

Luo Xi watched his friend run up, sighed, and asked Luo Zijia who was standing beside him: "Brother, your medical skills are so good, tell me, what should a girl do if her stomach hurts when she comes to the aunt? "

"Drink more brown sugar water, and you can also use a thermal bag to warm your stomach." Luo Zijia smiled, but his eyes were unpredictable, "But your friend should not have much to do with my aunt."

"Ok?"

Chu Mo really lied, she didn't come to her aunt, all the discomfort today was due to meeting "that person".

He went upstairs and opened the bedroom door.There are four beds in the dormitory, besides her and Luo Xi, there are also a pair of twin sisters.

The other twins just look exactly alike, but their personalities are vastly different.And this pair not only looks exactly the same, but also has the same personality. They also like to stay in the dormitory and never go out. They can sit and never stand, and they can lie down and never sit. Heart flutters on the computer.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, they turned their heads at the same time and said, "You're back." Then they turned their heads and stared at the computer screen.

At the beginning and end of the year, I sometimes envy their lives, which are simple and have no worries.Sometimes I am very grateful to them, like now, she just wants to sit quietly in a corner without being disturbed, and they gave her such a space.

She took out a silver hundred-year-old lock from inside her clothes. This hundred-year-old lock that had been hanging around her neck was left behind by the bed when Mu Liunian left the town on the last night.She originally planned to help him keep it well and return it to him when he came back, but she didn't want to wait for five years.

When she was forced to leave at the end of the year, the only thing she took away was this hundred-year-old lock, and it was the only thing left by her side in Fleeting Years.

Chumo lowered her head and caressed the marks on it, the silver material glowed coldly under the lamp, but the word "Fleeing Years" engraved on it warmed her heart.

I can't remember how many times, every time I think of him, I want to cry, I think there is no cure, I take out this lock, look at it, and imagine the outline that belongs to him.

"Brother Fleeting Time... I heard from my mother that my aunt let you learn piano since you were a child. She wanted you to go to the Vienna Conservatory of Music, which is said to be the best conservatory in the world. But it is so far away, do you really want to go to it? ?”

At that time, she only thought that abroad was a very distant word, and every time Mu Liunian went out for summer vacation, she was very reluctant. She really couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to go there to study.

"But isn't the most famous B University in China also very good? Brother Liunian... Can you not go to a university so far away? If you go to B University, I will study hard and get admitted to B University, okay? good?"

Mu Liunian stopped playing the black and white keys, turned his head, and deliberately mistrusted his eyes: "But with your current grades, can you be admitted to B University?"

If it were another girl who was said like this, she would probably feel ashamed to the point of shame, right?But at that time, she still vowed: "My grades are not good now, but I can work hard. As long as you are in B University, I will definitely pass the exam!"

Ah!I really don't know where the courage came from.

The corners of Chu Mo's mouth were slightly curved, but the smile seemed so weak.

She remembered Ruan Duhuan telling her that Mu Liunian gave up Vienna and chose B University just because of a promise made back then.

So, what he did was really because of the "stupid words" she said back then?
